    突破經濟不景 唐智強談香港經驗 (本報夏威夷訊)

    香港駐美經濟貿易事務署專員唐智強 (Donald Tong) 於10月20日上午8時在此間 Plaza Club 由香港中國夏威夷商會主辦的一項早餐會上發表演說,講題:如何突破經濟不景氣-香港的故事。

    餐會由香港中國夏威夷商會會長蔡永強主持,參會者主要是夏州政商學界人士,包括夏州眾議院議長佘貴人,檀香山市議員譚鴻章和前夏威夷大學旅遊學院院長 Chuck Gee 等將近百人。

    佘貴人議長並代表夏威夷州議會頒贈表彰給唐智強,感謝其在促進香港與夏威夷州經濟貿易方面的貢獻。

    唐先生首先介紹香港駐美經濟貿易事務署的概況,事務署總部設在華盛頓特區,在紐約和三藩市也分別設有辦事處,提供在香港及中國亞洲太平洋區的市場投資資訊服務。

    唐先生指出香港為了突破經濟不景氣,曾將酒店房間稅取消,並將酒類入口稅從80%降低到0%,以吸引遊客及刺激經濟,結果香港政府的稅收入反而增加,此點值得夏威夷州參考。

    另外,香港一年有三千萬人次的遊客,其中有170萬人來自中國大陸,他們的消費額高於日本、美國和歐洲的遊客,加上香港本地居民的消費額平均 GDP有$30,000 美元,香港確實是一個理想的試驗你的產品和服務,及建立市場的好地方。

    換句話說,中國已成為世界經濟增長的重要動力,香港是國際商務樞紐,又享有通往中國龐大市場的地利優勢,現在正是世界各地投資者在香港發展業務的最佳時機。

    香港資金和信息自由流通,基礎建設完善,法治制度健全,加上不勝數的經營優勢,絕對是你開拓業務,進軍中國市場的最佳據點。

    Honolulu Hawaii Thursday, June 4, 2009: “The Chinese are Coming, The Chinese are Coming” Paul Pei, Executive Director of Sales and Marketing, Ocean Park, Hong Kong - Mainland China is a massive market for the entire world. With a population of 1.3 billion, it has already proven its power in tourism, and this is only the beginning. Its citizens are eager to travel, to visit other cultures, and to experience what they have not been able to do. A Memorandum of Understanding between the US and China has opened the door for a potentially lucrative flow of visitors to Hawaii. But, are you ready to capture your share of this huge opportunity? Do you understand what their interests are, their sensitivity to price and quality, their expectations of service, how they behave, and more basically, how to reach and communicate with them? Paul Pei is Executive Director of Sales and Marketing at Ocean Park Hong Kong, a marine animal theme park that served over 5 million visitors in 2008, of which approximately half were from mainland China. Raised in Honolulu, he has spent most of his career in the orient, for thirty years in the hotel business in Singapore and Hong Kong and the last nine years at Ocean Park. He has been intimately involved in attracting and serving the 2.5 million visitors from China that visited his park last year. Hong Kong in total welcomed 16.8 million visitors from China in 2008, which now represents the largest segment of Hong Kong’s thriving tourism industry. Mr. Pei will share their experiences and provide tips on how to welcome and serve these visitors, who now spend more per person per day on vacation here than our Japanese visitors.
